On the Rocks (2020)
Lost in Translation Part Deux
Always a joy to watch Bill Murray play Bill Murray. But switch Tokyo for New York and Scarlett Johansson for Rashida Jones, and you've essentially got On the Rocks. New York City and Jones' opulent (but not too extra) SoHo apartment are the stars, and the plot was so cliched you could see the punchlines coming 20 minutes from the start. Still, lovely to see people walking around Manhattan without masks; hope we can get back there again soon.
There Are No Fakes (2019)
Love a good documentary....
And this one certainly qualifies. What starts off as a story filled with art world intrigue and drama, veers off into a much darker and disturbing story of drugs, cultural appropriation, and possibly murder. Would have loved to know more about the artist and how his work came to be so beloved, before he drifted off into drugs and a downward spiral. It feels like two movies that were edited into one. Still, for anyone with an appreciation for Indigenous art, or a good mystery, i recommend this movie.
